Unlocking flourishing at workplace: An integrative review and framework

Abstract The concept of flourishing has garnered interdisciplinary attention, particularly within the realm of workplace research, given its relevance to individuals' daily lives. However, despite its growing importance, defining and measuring workplace flourishing remains challenging, often due to the adoption of generic life‐domain perspectives. This review addresses these challenges by synthesizing literature from work and life domains. We meticulously analyze 118 pertinent articles through an integrative review methodology, uncovering gaps in conceptualization, measurement, determinants, and outcomes of workplace flourishing. Our review introduces a new conceptual lens, focusing on the role of personal project pursuits in shaping flourishing. We also clarify the distinction between flourishing and thriving, providing much‐needed conceptual clarity. Additionally, the review presents an integrative framework that synthesizes determinants and outcomes of flourishing, offering a multitude of avenues for future exploration.
